Custom Crating Services for Aluminum
At National Aluminum & Alloy (NAA), we don’t just supply high-quality metal materials – we make sure your products arrive in pristine condition.
We understand that the condition in which your products arrive is just as critical as meeting all design specifications and tolerances. That’s why our facility integrates custom crating tailored to your specific products, fully protecting your valuable alloy materials throughout transport and handling.

Ensuring Quality Materials from Initial Processing to Final Delivery
Engineered Protection for Your Products – We design and build crates around the specific size, weight, and protection requirements of your order. We emphasize impact protection to ensure safe shipping and handling, with unique added protection available to secure your more delicate components and/or complex parts requiring separate compartments.
Fully Compliant for Domestic and International Shipping – We can design our crates to meet the specific industry and carrier standards required for your shipment. Whether shipping across state lines or overseas, your materials are always packaged to spec.
Enhanced Moisture and Corrosion Protection – Protect your metals from oxidation and humidity exposure with optional barrier wrap, vapor corrosion inhibitors (VCIs), and sealed enclosures. We offer options to meet your specific shipping and/or warehousing requirements.
Optimized Handling and Stacking Efficiency – Our crates are designed not only for protection but for ease of transport, handling, and warehouse storage. Our well-built crates provide easy forklift access, dependable load security, and safe stacking, which can potentially save you warehouse space.
Built In-House, Fast Turnaround – Because we build our crates internally, NAA offers shorter lead times and full control over quality. We align crate production with your order schedule to keep your supply chain running smoothly.
